Icecrown Citadel RaidKnights of the Ebon BladeArgent CrusadeAshen Verdictofficial siteIcecrown Citadel: The Frozen ThroneAll across the lands of Northrend, many battles have been fought against the vile Scourge. Countless lives have been lost since the Alliance and Horde first reached the frozen wastes, but the champions of Azeroth continue to march forward. Now Icecrown Citadel, the cornerstone of the Scourge's power and the home base of the Lich King, is their final target. Tirion Fordring and the Argent Crusade have forged an alliance with Darion Mograine and the Knights of the Ebon Blade to form the Ashen Verdict. The strongest combatants of this coalition, along with the champions of the Alliance and Horde, will lead the charge against the citadel.

This dungeon reveals the culminating story events and battles of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack. Join the legendary heroes Highlord Tirion Fordring, High Overlord Saurfang, Muradin Bronzebeard, Highlord Darion Mograine, and King Varian Wrynn in an epic battle against the Scourge and their master. Icecrown Citadel features 10- and 25-player versions of the raid dungeon, and each version has 12 encounters. Each encounter can be fought in either normal or Heroic mode, and players can use a new user interface feature to toggle easily between difficulties. The rewards in the raid dungeon start at item level 251 in the normal mode with 10-player encounters, increase to item level 264 in the Heroic mode mode with 10 players and the normal mode with 25-player encounters, and then finally reach item level 277 in the Heroic mode with 25 players.

Grand Entrance of the Citadel

After breaching the fortress, players will face a legion of undead guards directed to repel any invaders. Commanding the defenders is Lord Marrowgar, a monstrosity fused together from the bones of the undead. Supreme Overseer of the Cult of the Damned, Sister Deathwhisper is the next opponent. She bolsters the faith of her followers by promising them the opportunity to give eternal service in undeath.

As they continue their ascent, the Alliance and Horde heroes ultimately end up outside of the citadel where their hatred for one another erupts into a battle for dominance over the Rampart of Skulls. Players will join in battle alongside High Overlord Saurfang on the Orgrim's Hammer gunship or Muradin Bronzebeard on The Skybreaker in a unique encounter. Each faction will protect its gunship and try to destroy the other one in a back-and-forth battle to see who is truly worthy of facing the Lich King.

The Lich King's most powerful death knight then stands as the final obstacle for the heroes to enter the upper reaches of the citadel.

The Wings of Icecrown Citadel

After the heroes of the Alliance or Horde defeat the other faction on the gunships and wipe out the creatures near the entrance, players will venture into an area with three separate wings. Here they will face a multitude of terrors that must be vanquished in order to confront the Lich King.

In the Frostwing Halls players will battle alongside the Ashen Verdict and push into the lair of the deadly frost wyrm Sindragosa, who continues to strengthen her brood with the help of Ymirheim's vrykul. Along the way, the heroes will stumble upon Valithria Dreamwalker, a captured green dragon whom the Scourge is using as a test subject for their own ends....

The Plagueworks contains the most twisted experiments ever produced by the Scourge. In this wing players will face two new forms of abomination in Festergut and Rotface, who currently protect their devious creator, Professor Putricide.

The Crimson Hall contains the leaders of the San'layn, undead blood elves who oversee the Scourge's operations throughout Azeroth. The blood-princes Valanar, Keleseth, and Taldaram were raised into undeath by the Lich King to avenge themselves while protecting their blood-queen, Lana'thel.

The Frozen Throne

After clearing all three wings, players will ascend to the Frozen Throne, where the Lich King and his runeblade, Frostmourne, await to deliver them to their deaths...

Oddly similar names.... Also the LK's most powerful DK.....Saurfang Jr.! (Or the Black Knight.....again.....again....)Comentado por MagnettEach faction will protect its gunship and try to destroy the other one in a back-and-forth battle to see who is truly worthy of facing the Lich King.Comentado por Elftastic

They already confirmed there would be no vehicle fights in Icecrown. I can't find the post though, so you'll have to take my word for it!Comentado por AlittanLooks totally awesome so far. I was wondering what gear level would be appropriate for 10-man normal IC.. It drops items of ilvl 251, so is it OK to be mostly geared with ilvl 232 gear, or would 245 be mandatory? I'm hoping to do atleast normal 10-man IC, but I am kind of casual :)

Anyway, total loregasms here.Comentado por 375956This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comentado por biogooToo many ilvls for lvl80 players... is it really necessary?
Instead of skipping naxx/uld to farm eq in ToCh, ppl will now skip ToC too to farm next tier in ICC 5m. Emblems of Conquest will just become useless (cmon, farming for ilvls 226?), Emblems of Triumph... well, the rewards will be equaled to ICC 5m drops, for sure.
Is really making end-game content available to everyone better than making older end-game content useless?Comentado por 181961This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comentado por 466008This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comentado por Fingulfin^ Remember. . . There might be some "Events" before, Cataclysm.

+ I gues there will be another patch. "But with no Raids."Comentado por sztwolfPlayers will join in battle alongside High Overlord Saurfang on the Orgrim's Hammer gunship or Muradin Bronzebeard on The Skybreaker in a unique encounter. Each faction will protect its gunship and try to destroy the other one in a back-and-forth battle to see who is truly worthy of facing the Lich King.cleavebashI'm thinking we get to launch ourselves from cannons onto their airship. Maybe half the raid stays and defends and the other half engages the enemy airship :D
Comentado por mudfishFrom the sound of it, the Knights of the Ebon Blade and the Argent Crusade have joined forces to create a new faction called the Ashen Verdict, which will storm the Frozen Throne together—with the help of Highlord Tirion Fordring, High Overlord Saurfang (the Elder), Muradin Bronzebeard, Highlord Darion Mograine, King Varian Wrynn, and YOU.Comentado por khorosdamn cant wait to plant my aesirs edge into our beloved artie ^_^

BUT more importantly, how does the lewt look? /hope for more intelligent design then ToC, nice models and all, but .... not much models either >.< idd love to have a naiz 2h weapon or 2 to go crazy on one of those ugly UD

cheers to raiding, GL to allComentado por lock13This all sounds awesome, but I think it's a little early. It likes the game will conclude the story line for a while. They should release this right before the exp comes out. But nonetheless, it's sounds badass and I will enjoy burning arthas down. And it will be cool to get on the hammer and actually get a fight. I often go up there and wipe out everyone on there now.Comentado por BarkendWhy do we need to help Saurfang? He can solo it.Comentado por chase123That gunship battle sounds epic.Comentado por 438948This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comentado por 285588This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comentado por 285588This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comentado por 410273This post was from a user who has deleted their account.
